USB data i/o interface using wd12

Hi All,

How can I read/write data using USB port instead of using serial/parallel port?

Any Help?

Thx in advance!

Cheers

Hi King,

you can identify a certain USB-port by its unique ID. (command: USBListDevice ) If it is a storage medium (all unique IDs of those start with USBSTOR\DISK... it will certainly be possible to do a read / write - provided you know its drive letter! As I got confirmation from PCS, command USBFind(USBDrive,DriveLetter) does not work properly right now but will be fixed within the coming weeks. As soon as USBFind() works Ok, we'll be able to have an unambiguous relation between unique ID and drive letter. Writing to USBSTOR\DISK devices is easy, because they're drives and work with files (fOpen, fRead, fWrite) and Hyperfile H-commands.

Other devices (e.g. USB-HID) than those of type USB-storage are hard to master. Each one has its own manufacturer-supplied driver and will react to API-calls to the DLLs of the driver only. You can get at the names of the driver-DLLs by looking into the device-manager of your computer. There is a command line tool for replacing the device manager too: DevCon.

Then I may use a hardware device usb2Serial for short right now
because the wine nozzle interface is in USB mode and all I need is to probe
and record how many shots of each individual liquor that has been rung in.

Thx again!

I suggest that you use the driver that come with the hardware .
